We thought that we had sussed the secondary options for our dd(10) but I’m having second thoughts. Ish.
Had never even considered KEHS but....now I am!
Can anyone give me a steer on the school and whether it would suit a very academically able, musically inclined but not sporty (enjoys games but not very good!!) dd?? Thanks.

Depending on where you live you could consider Bromsgrove School? Have you done any open days yet?

Not in catchment unfortunately and missed the registration date anyway....

You’re only considering independent schools? Otherwise the obvious ones to try for are the grammars but only if you’re in catchment now. Where do you live? Do you want single sex or co-ed ideally?

My daughter is a joiner! She does so many clubs already. Solihull and King’s High Warwick also on the list. Am I missing any?

Yes I should think it would. Sport is good there but my dd isn’t particularly able sports-wise and has generally really enjoyed PE. Music is also really good. It’s a great school for a joiner-inner as there’s lots to do. Maybe not such good value if your dd is unlikely to join clubs, go on trips etc.

Where else are you considering?

Yes it sounds perfect for the DD you are describing.
